Asus win 8 rt tab bricked?

[Fatcatonrampage]

I just received (a week ago) a ASUS VivoTab RT TF600T 32GB Wi-Fi Windows 8 tablet. I really enjoyed using it, but after a few updates the storage (main, not extended) was filled up completely.

I disabled updates but my tablet decided to restart and it updated itself completely. Now I have nothing but a BSOD and an error code:

""
OS couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors.
File: \windows\system32\config\system
0xc000014c

You'll need to use the recovery tools (etc.)
""

I can't go into safe boot because this comes right after the ASUS screen no matter what I try to do.
I can't (or don't know how) to use recovery media unless I'm able to access the windows 8 startup options.

Some help please?

Contact ASUS for support, it's silly to try to fudge around with an in-warranty product where you could void the warranty by trying something they don't allow.
